Road to Emmaus

I'm looking out over the crystal Flathead Lake as the Rockies loom in the backdrop with pastel clouds covering the sky, and a marion berry muffin and cup of coffee in each of my hands I'm realizing again why I ventured on this journey to Lakeside, Montana.
I desire more of Jesus. I desire more of his heart; his face. I desire to experience him. I desire to communicate him. I desire to sing to him. I want him to carry away my heart.

I stopped and took a breath today and as a result, 3 people began to tell me their story, goals, and thoughts about where they are at in life. They then asked me about what I'm doing and what this YWAM thing is all about. I got to share my heart and see them get excited; see their eyes opened.

I believe we are created to live with our eyes open. In my SBS program I feel I have lived as the men that met Jesus on the road to Emmaus, but didn't realize it was him. He told them all the Scriptures of the things concerning the fulfillment of the Prophets from Moses and the Prophets, and these men just listened and were amazed... but their eyes weren't opened. Even in the presence of Jesus, they didn't see him... Later on their eyes are were opened and they saw Jesus. "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" (Luke 24:31-32)

My heart is on fire
